Having a strange issue with DesktopServer … its only a recent issue also, I have used the application successfully for the last 12 months.

Due to hosting restrictions, we find more often than no we are using the quick deploy method at go live stage … and as stated above we have used this method on many a site.

We went to go live with another site over the last few days and Desktop server is creating a new folder within the public folder …

As you can see with the attached image, we only have WordPress installed within root folder, we upload the exported site zip file along with the quick-deploy.php file, yet when we run quick deploy .. ServerPress is creating a new folder instead of over witting current files …

Use DesktopServer’s last option to “Import, export or share…”, followed by “Export or deploy…”. Select your website project from the drop down combo box, “From Website”. Ensure that the option is set to “Export to a website archive”.

You you do not need to supply any additional information. Skip filling out any additional fields and just click “next” until a zip file is produced. You may then upload the created zip file via our website at:

Please note that there is a 300MB limit on the upload page. If your .zip archive is larger than 300MB, you may wish to use a third-party service, such as dropbox.com to send us the file. Dropbox requests can be sent to our email (support@serverpress.com). In lieu of dropbox.com or our upload page, you may send us a URL to obtain the file.
